anow'n that l, JAMES lill. llt-interina, 04ates9 residing at L a citizenof the United we inencdict3 in the county of foi-lt and State otNebraska, have invented ce :in new and useful improvements inConstruction of and l do hereby declare the liellonfing to he a full.,clear7 and exact dencription of `the inventiranv sach Will enable othersskilled in' the it te which it appertains to make and use the saine..

My invention relates to the construction of fire' and damp-proofbuildings, 'and my object is to provide a strong' permanent framestructure formed throughout offlinetallic piping. y

Another object is to provide a double w all coingosed of inner and'outer spaced parte huilt up inside and outside of the traine structure,thnsleaving the desirable t dead air space tl'ierebetween. v

Another object is toprovide a building in ,which the walls are formedvoit plastic blocks reliably hound tothe frame A still further object-is to provide a :trainewcrlfor a building 'which is formed of hollowpipes and Whereby'the pipesmay he employed as thcheatii'ig system for4the building 'by connecting them with the not Water boiler of afurnace. v

in the accompanying drawings, Figure l represents a side elevation. etmy traine structure partly covered 'by a root. and AWalls, and, Fig. 2representsan end View partly in section of the 'frame structure, `Wallsand root. Fig. 3, represents an enlarged. detailed sectional View-on'the line 3--3 of .Fig-2.

Referring to the drawings more in detail, l indicates a suitablefoundation preferably formed of a plastic composition saches ccnient andconcrete, and having embedded therein the hase hars 9i. The stud pipes 3are connected to the base hars 2 hy the com. plings 4 and the elbows Then' per ends of the stud pipes 3 forming the sir es 'of 'the la'lildingare connected laytlie short pipe sections (3 and couplings T, the latteralso connecting the rafters 3 'with the ridge pole. T he rafters Sandridge pole il are connected hy 'the Yoint couplings l() forming theframe for vthe ordinary pitched roof. The

,stud pipes 3 forming' the'ends of the build ing are `-.'ai.icilinlength, as willv be understoodI so as to support the inclined rafters 8of the frame for the pitched roof.

The parts thas far described comprise the framework orh the building andare formed throughout of hollow ypiping connected by standard joints inorder that all of the pipes" are in communication With each other.Frames Jlor doors or Windows `may he formed by interposing between thestuds 3 cross 'pipes l1. The walls of the building are 'formed o doublerowsof blocks builtnp on the inside and outside of the frame' Work. Theblocks of the inner wall 12 are preferably of less thickness than theblocks of the outeriwall 13, and the inner and outer blocks ormingthedoublewall are spaced 'apart the distance of .the diameter of the stadpipes The blocks forming the inner and outer walls areclarnped or'boundto the stud pipes B'bysnioo'th but strong pieces of Wire Wrapped (oncearound the stud pipes and having; their' ends lying between theadjac'entedges of vthe blocks, the convolu vtions oft-he Wires lying lontop of the-blocks and not separating the saine from the stud -pipes asshown in Fig. 3. The roof 14 may he formed of cement 'or any otherdesired material and is laid oiferl the rafters 8 Vand' projectsdownwa'rdly over the side walls of the building.

The frame being construct-ed throughout of metal-piping, may be. nsedasthe heating system for the building by connecting said pipes with a hotWater boiler, thus heating allof 'the structure above the foundation.

Further7 the pipes of the framework 'may be tapped at any c esired pointand connected to a radiator for warming the houseor slipplying thelatter with hot Water.

Freni the foregoingit will be seen that my invention provides a buildingwhich is equi lly cllicient as ashome5 barn or out building for livestock latter use the saine will be thoroughly vcleaned by burninglirestherein.

What l claim is: 1n a building, a foundation therefor, a

traine Work comprising pipes having theiry hores ycominanicating,`anouter Wall consisting` of blocks and huilt closely against said trarneiwire members having one-.end vembedded in the blocks and the other endprojecting;r from their inner tace, an inner Wall consisting et blocksand comparatively 'thinand poultry and inthe ner thaln'thel outer Walland;built upagainsi;l .name to this specification in the presence ofsLCA frame) on il? inner sie thereof, th `two:subscribing witnesses;Wire mem ers mg Iwou'n around sai l T 'pipes'and having' their freeendembedded n 4 JAMES W' MALLOb EE v5 in the joints inthe blocks of theinner Wall Witnesses:
